Eddy covariance flux measurements during Arctic cruises JR18006 and JR18007 in summer 2019

This is the high frequency (10 Hz) eddy covariance (EC) measurements which mainly contain the wind data, ship motion data, gas concentration data and the underway measurements. These data were measured on summer 2019 during two Arctic cruises JR18006 (from and to Aberdeen, UK and visited the Barents Sea ) and JR18007 (from Harwich, UK to Svalbard and visited the Greenland Sea). These EC data can be used to directly calculate the air-sea CO2 and sensible heat fluxes. The EC system was deployed on RRS James Clark Ross by Thomas Bell and Mingxi Yang (Plymouth Marine Laboratory). Please see Dong et al., (2021) for details of these EC data.

Eddy covariance air-sea CO2 flux measurements were made possible by funding from the NERC ORCHESTRA (NE/N018095/1) and European Space Agency AMT4oceanSatFluxCCN (4000125730/18/NL/FF /gp) projects.

Statement: These raw data were measured by the state-of-the-art instruments with high quality (missing values were logged as NAN). The raw data should be processes to account for such as the ship motion influence and flow distortion effect to the wind and gas measurements. The calculated flux should be corrected (e.g. gas sampling delay and flux attenuation) and quality controlled.
